The truth is that if our own country was good and everything was working, nobody would care about what an American president had said or has to say.......

Make African presidents and leaders try fix up our continent so that we won't have to bother about whatever impact Trump's laws may have on the rest of the world 🖕

USA is bigger than all these international bodies. If Trump vexes,he Wil stop funding for the world trade organization,like he did for WHO.

Trump govt is resetting the world's order. Even his allies in Europe are silent, observing him. They know he can withdraw funding for NATO.
Trump is not ur regular president. Go ask Columbia president.

Echoing what Dr, Okonjo Iweala said, "I'm not panicking" about Trump istration's tariff wars because global trade will continue to beat previous year's records at least in the next few decades or so. However, poor people in mostly developing countries like Nigeria will be highly impacted by these tariff wars.

Even if ur country is working like Australia, when an American president spits fire, u must fidget, this is not about Africa.
If they talk, even WTO and WHO succumbs, so who be Africa?

What are you actually saying?
Why do the millions of you brainwashed reason alike.
Y'all want puppets to fix a continent that was partitioned along greedy interest, the partitioned as history states, scrambled for it. They care not whose ancestral land their artificial lines splits arbitrarily over others. Went further to label them with pseduo identities that identifies no ethnic nations, like they have in Europe.

Make una dey try dey think for once na.
No be to dey follow follow same old brainless lazy yarns.

Tell your fvcking leaders to fix up their country so that we won't have to be fidgeting whenever an American president spills fire.......

At least, America doesn't generate the oxygen the rest of the world inhales...

Actually Trump made sure Ngozi Iweala did not become the World Bank DG during his term time. Then, he lost, and the Democrats asked her to become a full citizen of the US which she did and she was made the World Trade DG. She should be angry with Trump but with what I am seeing, she isn't.

I just love her charisma and her approach. Even Fared respected her. Tit for tat will not pay anyone. Despite knowing Trump is trying to make the US great again, I think he needs to be careful. Like Ngozi said, no matter how Trump injures you, try to not react immediately so the damages can be minimised.

Though I some of Trump's policies but hmmmm....

It is well.

Correction
Obama actually blocked Ngozi first. I appreciate those who corrected me. Bless you. How time flies.....So 2017 that Obama left the white house feels like just 4 years ago.

Trump says the US is no longer father Christmas.

It's all about America first for him.

If you need freebies, go and get it from China.

Every country, directly or indirectly depends on America.
Their economy is enough to cause global depression, they can mount sanction on any country whether china, or any other country.
Most world humanitarian organizations will shut down once America stop funding

The are world power for a reason
